From a conversation on irc...

To me all of the below are in some way the same sort of thing, although I didn't see it that way until Richard pointed it out a year or so back. It made me feel a lot less bitter at people who I don't see as overweight who still want to be thinner. I instinctively still find the cosmetic surgery more distasteful than most of the rest, and wonder if others feel the same.

NB More what you find acceptable in others than what you would consider doing yourself.

A clarification, please 8-)

When you say "to you", do you mean "which ones would you feel comfortable having done/doing to yourself" ?

Oh, I was about to ask that. The list of things I would actually do to myself is far smaller than what I find "acceptable". And I find my acceptable changes with situation - I'd have no qualms about employing someone with a nose ring, but would be annoyed if a bridesmaid refused to take it out if the bride asked them to. Err, yeah, I'm a hypocrite. Also, I'm very pro laser eye surgery, but wouldn't dare and don't need to have it done on me
